What Are the Steps for Female Infertility Evaluation?
Female infertility is related to many factors, which are generally caused by lesions in reproductive organs. Incomplete development of reproductive organs can also affect pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that women with infertility undergo comprehensive examination and corresponding treatment. The examination of infertility involves screening of reproductive organs. If a woman with normal reproductive organs is infertile, it is generally caused by male factors. Both the woman and her husband preparing for pregnancy need to undergo physical examination.
The evaluation of ovarian basal function requires blood sampling for six-item correlation hormone detection on the second to third day of menstruation.
A rough monitoring method can be performed at home, which involves recording the basal body temperature every morning after waking up for a month, starting from the end of the previous menstruation to the next menstruation. The ovulation situation can be judged based on changes in body temperature. The precise method is follicular monitoring, which involves using ultrasound to monitor follicular maturity on the ninth to tenth day after menstruation, combined with continuous monitoring of the concentration of correlation hormones in blood and urine and changes in cervical mucus for one week.
A commonly used and simple method for examining the patency of fallopian tubes is hysterosalpingography, which needs to be performed on the third to seventh day after menstruation. Additionally, laparoscopy can be used to monitor the pelvic cavity. It is recommended that both the husband and wife undergo examination and choose a formal and professional reproductive specialist hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
A series of cervical diseases can affect sperm motility, such as cervical erosion and cervical cancer, which can also hinder sperm movement and reduce sperm survival rate.
Routine examinations for women include ovarian pituitary function tests, cervical mucus examination, endometrial histopathological examination, fallopian tube patency tests, chromosome tests, and other examinations.
